Children all have a login for their ‘Times Tables Rock Stars’ accounts and are encouraged to use this to practise daily at home. Children should aim to complete regular ‘Garage’ sessions, and have been encouraged to compete in ‘Rock Slams’ with classmates to create a little friendly rivalry and competition!

As your child plays Times Tables Rock Stars at home, please note that some of the areas are for children to practice times tables set by teachers, and some of the areas allow the children to practice all times tables up to 12×12. The areas where teachers set times tables are ‘Garage‘ and ‘Arena‘. These areas have been updated by teachers, and are ready for your children to practice now!

Children all have a login for their ‘Purple Mash’ (MiniMash) accounts. Use your login to play games or to use the ‘computing’ section to create your own games, try some 3D modelling or build on your database skills!
